2. Erik Vermeulen has had a keen interest in photography since his high school days at St Alban’s College. In
those early days he was chairman of the Photographic Society and a winner of a PSSA medal.
Since 2007 Erik has re-kindled his love for photography, particularly focusing on adventure sport. Under the mentorship of
Jacques Marais, and through understanding adventure sport intimately, Erik has made his mark as one of the top adventure
photographers in South Africa.
His photos have been published in various magazines, used in advertisements and he’s done several cover photos for Go Multi
magazine. Erik is also the contracted photographer to The CHOC Cows and the Deloitte lifeClub.
In the next year Erik wants to re-establish www.adventurephotos.co.za - an adventure events photography portal where
athletes can buy their images.
